Devongunsmith Diaries #15 Perazzi MX8: Fails to fire, cock or open properly

[@markbutler1616]

Enjoyed watching that. Always wondered as to the benefit of detachable trigger unit but can see the advantage right there. They look like a very well engineered gun. Thanks for posting 👍👍

[@devongunsmith4698]

Thank you 👍

[@AwlDeigh]

Well done. !

[@devongunsmith4698]

Thank you 😊👍

[@coosanman]

Enjoyable and informative video, thank you. One can reset trigger without having to tap the butt of the gun... just flick the safety back and forward again.

[@devongunsmith4698]

Yes I fully agree.. But if I simulate the recoil, by tapping the butt, I test the changeover. Just by flicking safety on / off, won’t test the changeover.. 👍

[@tomhman6441]

Always enjoyable to watch. Good stuff.

Please let me know what content you’d like to see, and if the jobs come in, I’ll feature them 👍

[@balintgb]

what bugs my mind is that if the old spring was broken than where is the missing piece?

[@devongunsmith4698]

I brushed it aside setting up the shot 😂 not everything makes it into the edit 👍

[@tonydebellis4647]

The lever needs to be always to the right to when the action is open in order for the gun to work properly,in this case y the lever doesn’t stays locked to the right making the gun hard to close? The you know y? Nice video thank you

[@devongunsmith4698]

Thank you 👍

How the hell did that happen ,,, great vid though 💥

[@devongunsmith4698]

I have no idea

[@welditmick]

Do you not lubricate any of the parts before putting the trigger group back?

[@devongunsmith4698]

Yes of course, but as the disclaimer at the end of the video says, not every step is necessary to show.. time constraints and video editing workflow does not always allow.

[@Fendermanpaul]

Or, use the special tool.

[@devongunsmith4698]

🤣🤣🤣 yes of course! But the guy in the outback or the back 48, or the highlands of Scotland in a Ghillies Croft, or a cottage kitchen.. they aren’t likely to have a special tool..🤣🤣🤣

[@Fendermanpaul]

@devongunsmith4698 understand. But also the special tool comes with the Perazzi spares kit. Something recommended for all MX8 or removable trigger group Perazzis. Are the people you mention also able to have a replacement spring to hand? If you're ordering one, why not order the tool?
